  • Draganfly said the Commander 3XL integrated with TB2 Aerospace's DROPS system achieved a 100% success rate during U.S. Army SMEX25 operational trials.
  • The company described Commander 3XL as DROPS-enabled, while Apex and Heavy Lift were in the process of becoming DROPS-enabled.
  • This is a useful field-validation signal for logistics and drone-recharging integration.
